Carriers imposing employee vacation blackouts is usually goodindication as to when the next-gen iPhone will start selling. T-Mobile, AT&T have already starting blocking vacations around September 20th, and today Verizon, too, has announced a similar move to its employees.

As Apple’s September 10th iPhone unveiling approaches, we’ve heard that Verizon Wireless is blocking its retail employees from requesting vacations between Wednesday, September 18th and Sunday, September 22nd.

Apple’s iPhone press event is reportedly scheduled for September 10th, with the device rumored to go on sale a little more than a week after that on September 20th. The company is rumored to unveil both the iPhone 5S as well as the much-rumored plastic iPhone 5C.

However the 16GB iPhone 5 is still in supply, which could mean that Apple plans on retaining the model as a replacement for the 8GB iPhone 4. With Apple rumored to introduce a new 128GB iPhone 5S, 16GB seems like a much better entry-level configuration than 8GB.
